Om mig

Hello my name is samuel kermashahi and I work for freedom, human rights and equality between men and women, I support Israel and Kurdish friends, I'll say my opinion is a liberal, I believe in liberal social democracy.

I am so sad when related violence increases dramatically in society against women, I think that if we all get together people and fight against violence can be very powerful, unfortunately there are foreign people living in Sweden can not learn Swedish law and rules of their body lives in Sweden, but their brains are still living in the Middle East ..

Syrian Kurds begin diplomatic push with Moscow office

Syrian Kurds begin diplomatic push with Moscow office

Qamishli (Syria) (AFP) - Syrian Kurdish separatists have announced plans to open "representation" offices in several capitals, starting next week with Damascus regime ally Moscow, an official told AFP on Saturday.

"The autonomous Syrian Kurdish region will open an office in Moscow on February 10 and is preparing to open another in Berlin, with Washington, Paris and Arab countries coming later," said Amina Oussi, deputy head of the Hasakeh committee for external relations.

"These representation offices aim to secure recognition for the autonomous Kurdish region" in Syria, she said.

In November 2013, Kurdish groups in the northeast of the war-ravaged country announced the establishment of a transitional autonomous administration after making key territorial gains against jihadists.

The administration is split into three regions: Hasakeh in the east, Kobane in the centre and Afrin in the west.

Kurdish separatists are insisting on the creation of a federal system in Syria.

Last year, they opened their first such representation office in the autonomous Kurdish region of Iraq.

Oussi said several foreign delegations have already visited Kurdish-controlled areas, among them Brett McGurk, US President Barack Obama special envoy for the international coalition fighting the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq.

He visited Kobane in late January, accompanied by senior French and British officials.

A US official said that McGurk's visit was to take stock of the campaign against IS.

The Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) was not invited to the Syria peace talks in Geneva which collapsed this week.

Damascus ally Russia believed that no negotiations could yield results without it, but Turkey considered its presence unacceptable, given the Kurdish desire for independence.

The PYD is a leader in the fight against IS in northern Syria but is considered by Ankara to be an offshoot of its arch-foe the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK).
